what is kino
Hey /lit/ I have a completed chapbook of poetry sitting on my computer. I know it is basically impossible to get something like this published or to make even a dollar off it, so I was wondering what the best way to release it for free online is. If possible, I'm looking for a place that will make it so that strangers might actually read it in addition to my friends. Do any of you have any experience with this? I don't care about money or fame or anything or I wouldn't be writing poetry, I just want it out there.
tl;dr Any info on a place to electronically release a chapbook of poetry for free?

I read a lot slower than you (due to ocd) and I can't remember the last time I read more than 15 pages in a sitting. But I cope with it. And I still love reading and discovering new books.
Just deal with it, dude. If reading slowly is your biggest problem, you're a lucky guy.

You're not skipping over punctuation are you, anon?
I was like that until I started paying attention to punctuation and not just glancing over it.

Look for key information. Unless you are reading for prose, in which case just go along for the ride, ask yourself what the author's point is, and try to focus on only the important aspects. You can get caught up analyzing sentences and even phrases, which it sounds like you are, to the detriment of the overall message.
Basically, go into a book with a purpose. Use highlighting to remember key points and use Wikipedia to get condensed versions of the information you are reading if you're reading non-fiction.
If you're talking about reading fiction, start with young adult books and work your way up. A lot of them are better than people here give them credit for and are more streamlined and forthright.

Ok, /lit/. Recently I've had little sex drive.
Recommend me some good books about sex.

OP here
I forgot to add that I'm exclusively attracted to children, so any recommendations should take that into account.

Hi I am an author and am looking for questions for my new book. I am looking to do a question and answer book where I will give answers to questions from the public. They could perhaps be science based although don't feel limited by this as I am open to anything and can be as complex as you wish. I will answer the most interesting questions in my book. Also I am willing to do research in to the questions so I can attempt to provide the best answer possible. Feel free to respond to this or email me at [email protected] with questions. Thank you in advance.

Nobody cares you fat cunt, this board is for memes, not discussion of literature.

Has every idea already been thought?

Can't really ask questions about something I don't know. Give a synopsis or something.

Have you ever had an experience like this, /lit/?
I work in animation and listen to a lot of audio fiction podcasts as I work (since I obviously can't watch anything).
One of my favourites was Escape Pod for science fiction.
>Hosted by Steve Eley
>Awesome sci-fi stories each week
>Really thankful to the guy for putting out all this great stuff for free. I've been listening for years.
>Gradually Steve starts to talk about Polyamory and how he and his wife fuck other people.
>Stories aired start to get a bit more... "progressive". Some trans stuff, lots of gay stuff, some with "pronouns" like xe and xir.
>The podcast starts a yearly "celebration of women, non-binary and trans authors"
>Steve leaves the show mysteriously (years and years ago now)
>This year reemerged calling himself "Serah Eley", a polyamorous trans woman.
>Steve's bio now reads:
>"She strangely mispronounced her name as Steve Eley at the time; she’s since realized that life is much more fun as a woman, and came out as transgender last year. Serah lives in Atlanta, Georgia with her two wives, Alison and Cat. So if there were ever any betting pools on what happened to Steve: changed sex, joined a committed lesbian love triangle is the dark horse winner."
What the fuck am I supposed to think now?
I guess that old adage about "separate the author from the work, always" is proven true again.

Do you still enjoy the podcast?
If you do, keep listening.
If you don't, stop listening.
Also, have you ever listened to the Myths and Legends podcast?
It's pretty good (mythpodcast.com) if you like listening to stories while doing stuff.
ITT: good fiction by Puerto Rican authors.

I'm a vegan. What does that have to do with your choice of literature?
Stop baiting. Take that shit to /pol/ or /r9k/

Anything that doesn't have leather covers.

Depends on your motivation for being vegan.
Do you write a plan before you write a novel?
